Chronicles of Kala Pahad

Chronicles of Kala Pahad

Kala pahad has the distinctive columnar basalt rocks, there are multiple theories associated to it. The geographical phenomenon explains that these rocks are a result of volcanic activity, where they cooled and contracted into hexagonal and pentagonal shapes. Local legend claims that King Hriday Shah used his tantric powers to levitate the stones and these stones were used for the construction of ramnagar fort. Another theory suggests the stones were quarried for the construction of nearby palaces, like Begum Mahal, and the excess material was piled up here.

But what is truth is an unsolved mystery

Kala Pahad holds deep cultural and spiritual importance for the Gond tribes. Every year on Mahashivratri, community members gather here to seek the blessings of Bada Dev, their revered deity of protection and strength. In a powerful display of devotion, they walk barefoot for nearly 7 to 10 kilometers to reach the summit of this extraordinary rock formation. The uneven, columnar basalt stones make the climb extremely challenging, yet the faith and unity of the community guide their steps as they perform rituals and offer prayers atop the sacred Kala Pahad.
